You utter dark ravings and attempt to dominate an undead creature you can see within range. If the undead creature is not under the control of any other spell, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or come under your control for 1 hour. An undead controlled by you obeys your verbal commands, acting on its own initiative count in combat.
If the undead is delivered no commands, it takes no actions on its turn. If the undead is under the control of another spellcaster's spell, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC is set by the opposing spellcaster's DC. On a successful check, you assert control of the undead as normal. This control lasts for the remaining duration of the original spell that animated or controlled the undead.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you automatically take control of an undead creature if it is under the control of another.
